Tried Imlib2? (Score:2)

Memories supports resizing with Imager if it has to, but prefers Image::Imlib2, which is lightning-fast for image resizes. So much so that it generates the resized versions of pictures on the fly without noticable performance degradation.

  I was recently planning to switch an app from ImageMagick to Imlib2 for thumbnails and wrote a benchmark to see how much improvement I would get. I just added Imager for comparison:
  
  Rate imager magick preview imlib2 imager 4.92/s -- -2% -64% -82% magick 5.04/s 2% -- -63% -81% preview 13.5/s 174% 168% -- -50% imlib2 26.8/s 445% 432% 99% --
  So, Imlib2 is faster than even Imager's preview mode. Of course Imager does a lot of thin

    Use <ecode> tags :-)
    
    Thanks - looks like I need to investigate Imlib2.
    
    I suppose working on Win32 is too much to ask.
